"Price" is worth the price
"Price of Admission" is a book to read along with McPherson and Schapiro's "The Student Aid Game."Together they make up a two volume library on federal higher education policy the likes of which couldnot be collected in a hundred lesser titles.Read more

Winning Scholarships for College
I would definitely NOT recommend this book.The material is very outdated ( copyright 1994, 1999).Some of the websites are not even in use anymore. It is obvious that when this book was written internet use was limited. I was hoping to find scholarship opportunites for my son, instead I found myself out $12.95 (purchase price).

The Best Yetto hit Paperbacks !
Winning Scholarships for college was the most helpful book that I read this year in my conquer for seeking scholarships. It gave me an insideguide on how to achieve my goals as to where I want to be. This book helpedme get 3 schools on my list. And now I will be attending NYU this fall.Thanks Marrianne Ragins.

Editorial Review

Most of us found out from our parents that money doesn't grow on trees, but very few learned much more except by trial and costly error. What if we'd had a book in college that clearly explained how to get, save, and spend money intelligently? Not only would our debt--and our stress--likely be lower, but we'd have developed smart money habits that would serve us well for the rest of our lives. Read more

You need to know how good this book is!
First, the caveat: To get your money's worth out of this book, you will need to have a reasonable understanding of Economics.If you are comfortable working with terms such as human capital, opportunity cost and GDP per capita, then this is a book that could really enhance your understanding of research based school improvement.

Self-Publishing, a race to the bottom?
It is with no hesitance that I say, strongly, do not purchase this book. The volume is little more than an honors paper in a quality high school, exhibiting a familiarity with specialized terms and the ability to assemble a bibliography. There is no substantive analysis validating the title, and definitely no support for the subtitle which indicates support for school vouchers. Most readers will remember the "Sokal Affair" where a scientist parodied cultural studies authors and had it accepted in their top journal. One could imagine this piece attempting to be placed in the same position with its over the top style; but its visible superficiality denies one even that latitude. In the expanding instant and self publishing marketplace, those houses which grace these volumes with their imprimature need to exercise some editorial discretion if they and their authors do not want to be caught in a race to the bottom of the vanity presses. ...
